NOTE:All first time installations should apply this update regardless of the date of the download purchase. This updates all versions 1.0 and 1.1 to version 1.2a.

OverviewThis update contains improved light flare textures on planes and airports, more lights for 3rd party modification, and other various fixes.

Included in v.1.2a- Fixes square lights issue on some installations- Improved light flare textures- Support added to independently manage landing lights or taxi lights mounted on retractable gear to go off when gear is raised.

There have been requests for new effects on 3rd party aircraft. Support for the following effects were added:- Two new downward facing lights (22 and 45 degree). - Set of smaller strobe lights.- Three sets of recognition lights (red, green, and yellow) for use on older warbirds. These lights are designed to be placed together and change over time to simulate the pilot altering their settings. - Yellow navigation light.- Fast flashing red beacon.- Low light beacons (lowl) for those who want less light in the cockpit- More traditional, older lights available

OK, I assume you are looking at the default 737 in FS9 - I found something that may have caused those files to not install. Re-download and run the update.

NOTE for FSX users:
Microsoft default aircraft for FS9 use the taxi lights, but in FSX for unknown reasons, Microsoft opted to make them all work as landing lights. So, the default configuration is to have all lights go off when any landing lights are placed on retractable gear and the gear is raised. The system now supports independent control. We did not do the replacement of all default FSX aircraft in v1.1 of the update but will do shortly in the next update.

I have 2 folders in "Program Files", "Shockwave 3D Lights Redux" and "Shockwave Lights" and 1 in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", "ShockwaveLights" that has "BACKUP" and Redux_Backup" in it but all the files in them appear to be default cfg's

Edit: it looks like the only ones directly changed by the update were the Heli's but I have about 20 repaints on the 206 and a couple on the R22.
Oh well, guess I'll get it sorted but a little warning to others backup the Helicopter cfg's before updating if you have any repaints for them.

The original installer backs up your all of your aircraft.cfg files, the update replaces some default aircraft.cfg's for fs9, but does not back those up since there is a backup from the original install.

Yes, Scott, i made the change from "lights_gear" to "lights", because
i wanted to switch landing-lights on below 10000 ft without gear down.

But - for example - i didn´t edit the panel.cfg of the 747-400:
( gauge21=shockwave_lights!SW Lights_gear, 1,1,1,1 //shockwave light )
and it´s the same problem...all landing lights go off when i retract the gear.

By the way: this is my aircraft.cfg lights section (737) after using the updater:
